Polomalu had at least "3 knees" down before he attempted to get up. How many knees constitutes a football move?

The number of knees on the ground is irrelevant to making a "football move" - that is whole point. Having a knee, back or elbow on the ground is relevant to being down and able to get up and run, but is not relevant to determining if a catch was made or not.

I would think that the act of getting off of the ground would constitute a football move, but apparently the rule dictate that a football move cannot be made while he receiver is still on the ground.
